Privilege and complacency paralyze me with fear sometimes. But the less vulnerable we are because of privilege, the country we're born in, or the security we enjoy, the more vulnerable our souls are to apathy.

More quotes by Brandi Carlile
The mole can't live in your dollhouse.
Brandi Carlile
I stand firm behind the belief that, for me, songwriting isn't something that I do or command, it happens to me. I can either choose to stop and acknowledge it, or put it off and hope that it won't fade away. 'That Wasn't Me' is no exception - it came together more quickly than any other song I have ever constructed on my own.
Brandi Carlile
People that could yodel always fascinated me. People that could sing loud always fascinated me. So I started trying to mimic at a really young age: 6, 7 years old.
Brandi Carlile
I didn't get bullied any more than anybody else. I think I got bullied more for being poor than being gay. But no more than any other kid. And I'm sure that I did my fair share of picking on other kids, too. We're all humans.

You know, your first album is about really amazing things. Your first album is always about coming of age, first love, first loss, usually you suffer a first loss of someone that you love to death, even, you know, really big life lessons, things you learn from your parents' divorce or from the travels that you took.
Brandi Carlile
My advice to new artists is to embrace a broader concept of timelessness than vintage or retro.
Brandi Carlile
Coffee, whiskey, and fishing poles. That’s really all you need in life.
Brandi Carlile
You can't change people, but most importantly, unless you're their momma, you don't even know what's best for them.
Brandi Carlile
You can dance in a hurricane, but only if you're standing in the eye.
Brandi Carlile
Even before I had a daughter, I was passionate about global women's issues, but now that she's here, I'm even more inspired to leave a better world for Evangeline.
Brandi Carlile
All of these lines across my face, tell you the story of who I am. So many stories of where I've been and how I got to where I am.
Brandi Carlile
I used to turn to nature and animals a lot. And fishing. I spend time still with my Bible and the gospel music, and I still have to feed the animals! But my wife and daughter have brought me a world of perspective when I'm feeling just a little extra important.
Brandi Carlile
Cousins are forever and forever are cousins they stand by your side for you no matter what.
Brandi Carlile
But now, with the last two years of touring and being on the road, I've learned that a live show should never sound like a record a record should sound like a live show.
Brandi Carlile
It's impossible to just come up with one thing that I could say to the world. That's why I've spent my life in the pursuit of the opportunity to sing to it. Summing it up goes against what fuels me.
Brandi Carlile
When I was younger, I was always running into other girls involved in music. When I was about 14 or 15, one of my friend's dads was an Elvis impersonator and asked us to sing backups at a rehearsal. I did well and was hired. Did that for about two years.
Brandi Carlile
I have vocal trouble from time to time associated with sleep or wine! Or from sleeping in a bunk the size of a coffin and breathing in bus air conditioning all day.
Brandi Carlile
But I'm warning you, we're growing up.
Brandi Carlile
My songwriting is so influenced by orchestrated music, dramatic, super glam rock-y stuff. Two of my biggest influences in songwriting were Elton John and Freddie Mercury.
Brandi Carlile
I'd love to claim the title of 'songwriter' or 'intellectual,' but the truth is that anything that I ever learned how to do in conjunction with music was purely so that I would have a platform to sing from.
